Civilization V By Sid Meier

Mostly taking place in a futuristic Africa and Middle East (clearly noted by the constant battles), Civilization V is a visually stimulating game that leaves nothing to the imagination. There has been a significant amount of upgrades and features since "Civilization U." Want to use a battleship to destroy and starship? That's a feature. You can also desecrate landmarks and monuments by building polluting refineries next to them.

If you do get a change to play this game, you will notice as I did, that more progress will be made through warfare than developments in science and business (as the pollution will eventually cloud the entire screen, making the game unplayable after a few hours).
